So, I’m not really sure that I approve of shopping for a cause (because *more* of your money would actually get where its going if you just gave to a reputable foundation) but recently I’ve bought a lot of music from which the proceeds have gone to charity.
Most recently I’ve bought the single Everybody Hurts put together by Simon Cowell and to which a bajillion artists contributed.
I’ve always liked this song because there is just something comforting about the notion that everybody at some point feels a little pain and that’s is just part of life. Its a nice little nod to the saying, “This too shall pass.”
“When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone….(just remember) Everybody hurts, everybody cries. Hold on.”
It is a really nice cover of the song, maybe not as slow as the original. And, all the different artists adding a their own little touch really focuses the ubiquity of the experience of life sucking. I highly recommend it.
